Customer Service representatives hold the difficult job of serving as a buffer between the company and the customers. They soothe angry customers, answer silly and hard questions, at the same time protecting and upholding company policy.All business organisations need to make certain that their customers are satisfied with the service they receive because; customers are the most important part of any successful organisations.

For example, if you are selling ear identification tags for cattle, you’d start with a list of members in the Cattleman’s Association.

Because the job also involved having prospective customers complete an application form, I decided to use a Henderson’s Directory for my prospect list. For those of you w

It’s a fixed expense.These myths are responsible for hundreds of millions of dollars in annual overcharges and errors in the Southeastern United States.As of May 2006, businesses with the proper knowledge of billing, metering, and rate practices have eliminated over $28M (and counting) in hidden overcharges and errors from their el
